TVs always look so gorgeous in commercials. The lighting is perfect. The screen pops. Everything is so picturesque. I mean, they look great in our homes, but they always seem to look better in advertisements and media. I mean, the TVs in the things we’re watching on our TVs are easier on the eyes and look better than the ones we are actually using. The funny thing is, there is an ingenious invention that is ridiculously affordable and can not only make your TV and living room look great, but also make it easier when you want to binge watch some shows or play games. It’s all due to Luminoodle TV Backlights. They’re lights for your TVs.

Well, just calling Luminoodles that is simplifying things. Yes, they are lights, but they’re more than that. They help make watching easier, ease any eyestrain, and make your room look better. And the thing is, they are so simple to use and common sense that you may just kick yourself for not thinking of them first. Especially since they work with any TV or monitor, are easy to install, last for a long time, and provide lots of light.

Here’s how the Luminoodle TV Backlights work. You get the 1 to 3m version, depending on your TV’s size, and pick either the true white or 14-color option variety. (The price varies, depending on size and color.) You then place the 3M adhesive backing on the back of your TV. It’s designed to cater to 90 degree turns, so you get perfect coverage. You can even cut it down after every two inches, in case you have too much or want to arrange it in different ways. Then, you plug it into your TV’s USB slot. That’s it! It is installed and ready to go. It is easy to turn on and off. And, if you go with the colored version, it comes with a remote that lets you change the color and adjust the brightness. Both are rated for 50,000 hours of lighting, so they are going to last.

Which is exactly what you want, because they will make staring at your monitor or TV so much easier on your eyes. This is due to the contrast ratios created by the backlight. Having that behind your screen helps make the picture look better and crisper. It makes it easier for your eyes to adjust when what is on screen goes from light to dark and vice versa. It helps balance things out. This accent helps keep your eyes from being strained as you watch what is happening on screen, thanks to the environmental effect. It’s a great thing.

As an added benefit, the Luminoodle TV Backlights look great. They add a sense of gravitas to your living room or gaming den. The TV or monitor will become the focal point, what with that backlighting, drawing people’s eyes and attention. Especially if you go with the colored variety that lets you determine the level of brightness. It really pops. Should you turn the lights down low, it can give you a theater experience in your home, regardless of how small or large your screen is. Really, it’s a lovely sense of ambiance.

Luminoodle TV Backlights are a great way to improve your gaming and viewing experience. They make a marked difference when it comes to savoring the images on your screen. Plus, they help reduce strain on your eyes. And who wouldn’t find those white or colored lights behind the screen visually appealing in general. Best of all, they start at $9.99 and go up to only $19.99 for the standard version and range from $19.99 to $29.99 for the colored variety with a dimming function and remote control. It’s affordable enough where you can splurge and give it a try. It’s a great way to dress up your living room!
